    Hi guys,

    I really need some advice as I feel like i'm at the end of tether. I'll try keep it brief.Had my first laparoscopy about three years ago and I was doing well for about a year and half with the endo/PCOS. Then periods went a bit off, gained weight, became a bit depressed. This is a time when I was away travelling and should have been having the time of my life, I went back and forward to the docs, test after test after test, I was put on anti-ds for my moods, they seem to think I have PMDD and then had an ultrasound. This revealed multiple cysts had developed on both ovaries. I was put on metformin. I then had another laparoscopy which revealed more endo had developed on my pelvic wall. This was removed and I was put on the pill. So it's about four months since my lap, my periods are a bit out. I've developed muscle twitching where my legs flinch, not sure if this is a side effect of the medication or completely unrelated. My moods are so up and down and i'm at the stage where I don't know if the cure is worse than the cause. I stayed away from the pill for so long because it wreaks havoc with my mood. I went back to the doc recently and they've lessened my dose of anti-ds to see if this is a cause of the leg twitches. My moods are so flat some days, i'm irritable, then some times i'm okay. I was pretty nauseous for over a week when they changed my dose and my appetite wasn't great, could only face basic foods. I've been having pains that are similar to wind pains but in my lower pelvis too. I'm sick of feeling like my moods are completely out of whack and whether these aches and pains are endo related or to do with the meds. I'm feeling a bit lost with the whole thing, and hoping someone can offer some advice. Thanks xx
